Ulster University

When I joined Kainos, I participated in induction training which lasted one month. Then I was placed on projects in the company and assigned a career coach and people manager – they help me to define my career path and enable me to meet my goals.

When I first joined Kainos, I was given a four-week introduction training course, where I learned the basics in a wide range of languages some of which include Java, SQL & HTML. Everyone has been very helpful and willing to help me learn whenever I am introduced to new technologies.
